Everyone knows how excited I am/was to see Hair, and Gavin Creel of course. Seeing as someone wanted me to give her the 411 on just how much cuter he was in person.
How exactly does that work if he's not going to be there when I see the show?
Gah.
FML.
I'm going to go read some of those.

Chat with My Cousin
My cousin just got back from New York and was posting his pictures of facebook. I couldn't help but comment on some of them, mostly of how jealous I was. He had pictures of Christopher Sieber, Johnny Tartaglia, Brian D'Arcy James, Daniel Breaker, J Robert Spencer, Adam Chanler Berat, Kyle Dean Massey, and Alice Ripley.
After leaving a few comments on a few of the pictures, he struck up a chat on facebook with me. Now I would have spoken of the highlights, but there's many interesting parts, I'll bold them.
One of the things I will point out though is I had a more meaningful/interesting talk with him last night then I've had with his twin sister (who is supposedly my best friend) in a long time.
You can tell we have opposing tastes, can't you?

Broadway Secrets 6/19/09
I was not very inspired by secrets this week. Even though I had two of mine. I'm actually disappointed because I made this secret but it wasn't posted because they thought it was a personal picture. That made me sad because I would have been the first/only person yet to acknowledge Lucas's achievement. Also there was one secret I very much disagreed with so I posted a comment saying just that. I ended up with someone patronizing me telling me that I haven't seen the show and my opinion is wrong. I'm just a little mad that people think just because they're anonymous and not important that they can say whatever they want, I'm probably more mad about what was said to me than what was said originally.
1. If your friends with them on facebook, that's really cool
2. Why would he take the job then?
3. Yeah, they're really cute.
4. First, the text is so hard to read. Second, I guess you just had your eyes closed because he's always been hot.
5. Why did you do that to her face? She looks scary!
7. Every time I look him up, I go to his website and get really distracted by a Rock of Ages youtube video. This is still a problem for me as it happened last night.
8. I can't wait to see it! JK. What's it about?
15. A lot of people have already commented saying that she was Diana in one of the workshops. Well, I recently heard her "Didn't I see this movie?" and it's great. She could totally replace Alice.
19. This secret seems kinda pointless to me.
20. Yeah, I guess so.
25. Um. What the fuck?
26. Aw, they do look cute. But I've heard Groff's Claude. And Gavin's is better.
29. That's an excellent point, now can people shut up.
30. Nice.
33. Creepy creepy creepy.
35. I'm pretty sure those are freckles. Besides, isn't he supposed to look 15?
36. That picture of him creeps me out a little.
37. Everywhere. I'm not sure about message boards or anything, but still.
39. She looks absolutely gorgeous.
43. The only thing I could think of when I finished reading this secret was that there's no "NO" for Allison, if that was intentional then I think that's pretty cute. (But obviously no to the first 3)
44. Hehe
46. Yes
49. Interesting...
50. Hahaha. Nice!
56. I find it sometimes a little distracting.
57. See #49
62. Dude, you just made that pretty little girl look terrible.
63. This is the secret I got into an argument about. I totally disagree. I love her acting (In videos I've seen) and I think it really helps the audience feel it too.
65. I agree. Especially when using crude language.
69. She's with JBW. Or weren't you watching the Tony's as carefully as the Spring Awakening fans?
70. I've heard.
72. Um, interesting.
75. Nice. But I have the same problem. I wanted videos of all the shows so I could decide easier.
76. Um, no.
87. That's true.
90. It's not a rock concert, it's a broadway show.
92. Yes, and some much better then #63.
93. The point of the secret's not to seem superficial or pointless as many of the commenters think but to show the irony that her in Wicked (being y'know, green) made her seem pretty.
101. You're sad.
103. I guess it wasn't subtle then.

Broadway Secrets 6/12/09
Today is: My 1/2 birthday
Currently Playing: Going Down-Gavin Creel
Quote of the Day: "Breathe in Gavin Creel, breathe out Allison Case."
I had a secret this week but i'm not going to hint or say what it was.
1. True dat
2. She does not look that whore-y
3. I can imagine that. Honestly I don't think about things like their salaries. Except for my story/explanation of why I have a husband and 4 kids that I don't pay for.
4. No.

3. I can imagine that. Honestly I don't think about things like their salaries. Except for my story/explanation of why I have a husband and 4 kids that I don't pay for.
4. No.
5. To each his own. But the hype is about the sincerity and deepness of the show combined with the stellar acting.
6. You can't make a sequel to a musical, especially one still on Broadway.
8. Me too. But I doubt I'll ever see more than bootlegs.
11. One of the girls in my dance class (Who's a huge BE fan) looks like him. I told her today.
13. Did he actually write that? But at least I can cross something off my list of shows to see in New York. Wait...I know what I WANT to see.
14. Who are you? Matt Doyle?
17. The lipstick doesn't help.
18. I don't think I know who Susan Egan is.
19. I really don't care about that. I really like Caissie's voice. Especially in Easy to Be Hard.
23. Because there are 2 Spring Awakening people in Glee and only 1 person rumored to be dating a Spring Awakening person in Rock of Ages. But I have to wonder, why compare the two? The only similarity they have is Don't Stop Believin' and that's JUST a song.
24. I'm still missing why they were there in the first place...
25. I've seen those pictures so many times and honestly I never look at where people's hands are unless they are in the center of the frame. Anyone remember when Groff and Lea were posing and his hand was like completely on her ass? I wonder if some guys even notice they do that. The Jon Groff at my school always has his hand pretty low on Lea, but I think he usually knows it. Pertaining to the actual secret; I agree with the first part. Honestly where he puts hi--nevermind that sounds weird
26. I think it ruins the idea of stagedooring for a lot of people.
27. I don't think it's the same person. But this secret reminds me of someone I've talked to who is a Billy Elliot fan and kind of annoyed at all the hate it's getting.
28. This kind of makes me think of my English presentation.
29. Wow. There haven't been alot of Spring Awakening secrets recently.
30. Not that I don't love him (He's stellar in Criminal Minds) but I don't see/want him as Fiyero.
31. My theory is the performance was meant to emphasize what a New York Times critic said (That Wesley Taylor should have been nominated) I mean damn, I knew my dad was in the room and I still got all worked up.
33. Ummm, really? Sorry but, as who? I still kinda struggle to enjoy her voice sometimes.
35. I don't know. Except for that performance there absolutely no fuel for those secrets.
36. Is he even gay? Are either one of them gay?
37. After that acceptance speech I believe it.
39. It would have been funny if that arrow was pointed at Allison.
40. Welcome to the world of fangirlism.
41. Haha. Nice.
42. True, but I still think they should have gotten a special award or something.
44. What's going down?
47. I don't like his Melchior so I agree.
51. Secret 36 much?
53. Why? Because you want to think less of them?
54. Aww, what do people on BWW say about her?
58. I think he's really talented. But I shouldn't be answering that question seeing as I fangirl him.
59. Oooo. New Gabe's cute! Isn't Kyle Massey the guy from Corey in the House?
61. That's what CMIYC means? I had no idea! That sounds like a weird musical.
62. I thought she was giving the finger. That would have been funny.
63. Secret maker must be quite idiotic because there's hardly any difference.
65. OOOOOH! I can do zat! (Chekov voice) It's called Next to Normal.
67. That's creepy. Especially the wording.
68. It wasn't Tony related on Wednesday and now it's just redundant. I think he's attractive, especially for a guy with long hair.
69. Made me want to download the Recording.
70. I don't know. But honestly, I don't care.
71. Not sure if I do either.
6. You can't make a sequel to a musical, especially one still on Broadway.

Broadway Secrets (Tony's)
1. Wrong. They were Stellar!
3. Yes that was me, but I know I wasn't being fair
4. Indeed.
6. Perfection
9. So beautiful!
10. I would still see RoA for Wesley.
11. True.
12. I agree. That really bothered me. I was praying that they would lose just for that.
13. I hadn't heard anything about Janney fans, but then again I don't know any.
14. Awesome Alice!
15. They were maybe too much, but they had alot to convey in one song.

17. They were stellar!
18. True
19. Totally true, he kept RoA from being booed off the stage.
27. She's awesome. I keep hearing awesome things about her and she was stellar in the performance.
28. Oh dear. The sore losers

31. True
33. She was so emotional for someone who was a shoo-in, and made me cry.
35. I don't understand the tony relevance.
36. I'm so glad someone did something like that. I wanted to do a "Wanted for stealing Tony's"

40. My computer cursive has gotten real good.
41. I confess her speech was a little scary at first.

53. Definitely
55. Maybe that's true.
